Apple confirms the popular theory: Your iPhone does get slower with age

This theory that "iPhone gets slower with age" has always followed iPhones both in the past and present but what made it the trending topic on the internet was the recent confirmation of this theory by Apple after Reddit users complained that their devices were getting slower as the batteries in their iPhones got weaker.

So, many iPhone users now think that this is the market strategy used by Apple to make people buy their recent iPhones but that's not the truth. Apple on Wednesday claimed that facts still prove that older models will slow with age and also, slowdowns in their iPhones were deliberately done to keep older phones running longer as the battery wears down — not a push to buy a new model.

lithium-ion batteries become less capable of supplying peak current demands when in cold conditions, have a low battery charge or as they age over time, which can result in the device unexpectedly shutting down to protect its electronic components.

This means literary, that it is better for iPhones to slow down rather than shutting down. This "slowdown" feature which will avoid blackout in iPhones is already in iPhone 6, iPhone SE, iPhone 7 and its future products.
